Entrepreneurs, it feels like we are always in crisis of one kind or another. And in some cases, there is nothing you can do about it. But, have you picked up some tricks or some disciplines along the way that helped you try to not be in crisis all the time? >> I have, So our business has definitely been a roller coaster, and then you tie in your personal life with family and and, and that's always a roller coaster, and there are so many demands placed on us. And I think the, one number one thing just from a philosophical perspective is, you know, life is fraught with challenges. It's, it's really never that easy, regardless of how successful or unsuccessful you are. The key is how you live that life knowing that. And for us, I mean for me at Happy, one of the things that I do as the CEO is I take at least two days a week where I'm not responding I'm not responding to anything that's reactive. I try to make 2 days proactive. And that way, I can at least get ahead of things and ki-, be focusing on the future and vision, rather than just responding and being reactive. And that's, that's really helpful, because sometimes what you need is that next big idea or that perspective to get you to the next place. And if you spend all of your time putting out fires, you know, it's very difficult to, to kind of get there, and get out of that that mentality of just putting out fires. And I think the other thing is just to, to stay healthy. You know, it's so important. And it gives you so much more perspective. A good night's sleep, before you make a big decision. Making sure, you know, you're staying, active and eating well and doing all those things for you so that you can be the best leader that you can be, that's, that's been really helpful. More so than you'd, you'd think, but a good night's sleep could mean all the difference.
